I've been creating a custom ribbon tab using Greg Maxey's instructions in his many and varied tips pages on the subject.

I'm trying to get a label to read "F&R list" but having no success with the ampersand.

I succeeded in getting a label for the letter "a" with a macron on top of it using this in the Custom UI editor for the button: label="ā"

For ampersand, I've tried:

label="F&R list"
label="F&R list"

The Custom UI Editor doesn't respond.

I have managed a workaround with getLabel = RibbonControl.GetButtonLabel, using label = "F&&R list" in VBA, but this seems a bit roundabout.

Is there a way to write the label = "" value directly into the xml file?
